This project will showcase a series of strategically designed industry-driven CTE programs to invited delegates from APEC economies. Through the collaboration and networking between academic institutions and private sectors, students receive education and training that cultivates them as a skilled workforce that satisfies industry needs, thereby alleviating economic downturn and effectively meeting difficult challenges being faced in the APEC region due to education gap and skills gap. While some economies may have also acted on this issue, certain venues will be arranged to allow delegates to share and discuss policies and practices enacted by their respective authorities. Other planned activities include setting up a bilingual website where relevant information will be regularly uploaded (commenced in November 2016) and organizing a workshop, as well as a three-day CTE tour in Chinese Taipei in April 2017.
